Garland “Bill” Lindsay Barr passed away on August 8, 2022 at the age of 88. Bill was born on July 16, 1934 in Forsyth County to Cosba and Jettie Barr. He worked as a mechanic at RJ Reynolds and retired after over 35 years.
Bill proudly served his country in the United States Army and remained a patriot his entire life. He cared deeply for others and was very loving and thoughtful. Bill was a dedicated member of Grace Baptist Church in Lewisville for over 20 years where he acted as treasurer.
In his spare time, Bill could be found perusing yard sales for something to resell or trying his luck on scratch-offs. He was also a neighborhood staple - riding his golf cart around on his daily rides, making sure to keep in touch with all his neighbors and friends.
Bill’s greatest joy in life came from spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Clara Bennett Barr; daughter, Karen (Jeep) Davis; grandson, Sammy (Courtney) Ball; great grandson, Samuel Ball; sister, Florence Hampton; and many other loved ones and friends. In addition to his parents, Bill also was preceded in death by his brothers, Cosba Barr, Jr. and Kenneth Barr.
A visitation will be held on Friday, August 12th from 6pm to 8pm at Frank Vogler & Sons in Clemmons. The funeral service will be Saturday at 11am at Grace Baptist Church in Lewisville.
